CEO and Executive Director of the Stellar Development Foundation Denelle Dixon said the integration of Stellar in the Samsung Blockchain Keystore is an important step for the platform. Dixon highlighted the features of the Samsung Blockchain Keystore and described them as user-friendly. Dixon believes this will eventually allow for a higher level of adoption, as Dixon added:
With this integration, we’ve opened up to a new network of users that can benefit from the combined innovation of Stellar and Samsung. It’s just the beginning as we work together to empower more developers and users to leverage blockchain and the capabilities presented by this integration.
As reported by CNF, Samsung is one of the major companies that have supported the integration of cryptocurrencies. In February, the company announced that it would integrate a crypto wallet to manage Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and some ERC-20 tokens, along with TRON (TRX) into the Samsung Galaxy S20. Samsung sold 300 million phones last year alone and its global sales reached nearly 20% in the same period.
